Lessons learned from having chronic SIBO with Rebecca Coomes | Ep. 81 Oct 31, 2018

Show notes

Rebecca Coomes was diagnosed with SIBO in early 2015. On today's podcast she reflects on the insights she has gained from having a chronic condition and the lessons she has learned about herself, her health, her body and SIBO. On the episode she discusses:

Why SIBO can be a wake up call we need to listen to
100% resolution might not be possible but 75% or 80% improvement can be and that is ok
If we have been sick a long time, we can’t expect complete resolution within days
Why we should focus on how we are feeling rather than what test results say
Testing is helpful for diagnosis and understanding what it going on but we need to treat the whole body and the person, not just the test results
Why tracking how we're feeling is so helpful in recognising how we're changing
Diet is helpful in controlling symptoms but isn't the only element in treating SIBO
Why working with a skilled dietician or nutritionist is such a good investment in developing a nutritional protocol that's right for us
The importance of recognising disordered eating early and investing in a skilled psychologist who can help us navigate through the challenges of SIBO
Why there are 4 stages to treating SIBO, yet so many people only do the first 2
The importance of building a dream team of Practitioners around you
Not letting your location stop you from getting great care
Understanding that we know our bodies the best. Trust your symptoms and instincts
Changing your internal dialogue and limiting self beliefs
Writing down your goals and working towards them
Prioritising your spending so you spend money on health and fulfilment rather than distractions
Looking to see what positives and lessons you can take from this experience
